The food in the Rhine caused by
Sundays storm WAS greater than any
pre- sious fl ,od and mucn more destruc.
tive than the big hood of 1881. The
rush OF water bit of large chunks of the
bank, reducing the dimensions of -everal
lots. The storm about the head waters
OF the Rhine must have assumed the
proportions of a water spout, as 80 much
rain could hardly have fallen Ill the
usual way in SO short a time. Forty
eighth hours have passed since the
storm and the bod has not all run out
of the Rhine.
William Towle, OF Charles Mix county
has made a demand upon the oity for

October, between the hours Of seven and
eight III the evening, his foot went
through a broken sidewalk in front Of
the Madison honse, apralnipR ms ankle,
and that he is permanently disabled
thereby. The sidewalk il front Of
the Madison house is o peculiar affair,
Il is laid close upon the ground and if
there was a hole there it would not be
more than an inch deep. 80 If Mr..
rowle Tell through, be did not fall a
great ways.

SHOULD settle the question of superiority
In their favor. Ley are commanded
by a regular army graduate and Captain
Hameister's efficiency doubtless has
much to do with their success. The
b rvs will arrive on tomorrow after
moons tram over the Mil aaukee road,
probably from the west. They have
= earned q reception.
